“I am altering the deal, pray I don’t alter it any further.”

And they say Anarchism can’t work. Fucking Linux Baby, progress in action.

Thank you kindly.

Likely just the world hitting it’s carrying capacity of humans. Similar things happen in other ecosystems. Nah, not Malthusian BS, just thermogoddamics.

Star Trek would never have been greenlighted if it had been created in the late 70s or any point after that.

True, it has it’s flaws, and has been abused through the years, but at core it represents HOPE in the future, a better world, competent, well educated people. Apparently that’s not what the producers like. Boot, face, forever.

Happiness is some chemicals in the brain and money can definitely buy all of those.

Eh, that’s a maybe, if you’re rich. Not saying medication can’t be useful, but the sane reaction to an insane world is also hard to deny.

What Fassbinder film is it?

The one-armed Man walks into a flower shop and says:

What flower expresses Days go by

And they just keep going by endlessly

Pulling you Into the future.

Days go by Endlessly

Endlessly pulling you Into the future.

And the florist says: White Lily.

ETA: Here’s the youtube plebes, one minute from the eighties. Stop and have a think.

Aye, there’s the rub. Only heavy effects stuff needs the big files now, but later there may be regrets (or instant enhancement, who’s to know)

It’s unstable / explosive. (Actually TNT is pretty damn stable for an explosive, nitroglycerin would have been a better choice)

At it’s best you’re paying (or better, your country is paying) to learn how to learn, with a specific discipline as a workspace. As with so much else it has enshittified due to rampant greed and power’s fear of a well educated populace, still, if you go into it with that goal, some vestige can still be had.

Even if it doesn’t, you can start again rested.

True, got carried away on the pirate theme, should have added ‘(to the corpos)’ to the end, or maybe just ‘but seed’.

self host searxng and

pipe it through rotating VPN endpoints. You do realize it just composes big tech search engines? They’ll just see a search query and figure out who you are in their normal ways. Also, remember to disable google by default (it’s still there with the !go bang).

Corpos: Own nothing, hate it. Keep paying, keep consuming.

Piracy: Own anything, keep it, smile. Take what you can, give nothing back.

Again?

Might be time to disable updates on your PS5 (if you can, I dunno, don’t console) so you can install Linux and get those other stores (once hacks are available for your BIOS).

Going to 90%, there’s your problem. Let the Pareto principle guide you…

Fair cop.

Still no to Denuvo, any studio using it should be spanked.

you will need a kernel module.

Yeah, Nah. That’s a nope, especially given it can be done in proton. Also, updated Denuvo in 3.2.1…

Denuvo, just say no.
